Freelance Writing Links
As an end of the year "gesture of love," this website lists some of their best links for freelance writers.
Just my casual observation that probably means nothing: Many, many of the freelance writing websites I've found on the internet are actually marketing schemes dressed up as "help websites" for writers when, in fact, they are only seeking to make some kind of money off of writers.
Making money is not a sin. What these websites are doing is not illegal. It's smart. They are using the desire of writers to make a living with their words to make a living for themselves. That's not against the law. But, writing consumer, be forewarned about the smooth operators who promise you entry into the writing working world when all they really care about is selling you whatever product it is they are selling.
There is one "circle jerk" operation that I've discovered much like the graphics and clipart circle jerk operations: You think you've landed on a productive website and wow, just look at all those links to "other" websites but when you click on them, you just get yet another page of links and ALL of them use a similiar webpage template, language, articles, etc. almost as if one person created them all, linked them up, and there you go...
So, be a smart web traveller. Some of the articles on these so-called freelance writing websites are actually worth reading. Just be aware of the cyber-waters you are navigating.
